Tool of the week
- User:Difool/WikidataCleanup.js: gadget allowing to do, in one click, a wide series of cleanups in an item: normalize labels, descriptions, and aliases (double spaces, certain Unicode characters), remove weak references, remove weakly referenced dates when they have lower precision than a strongly referenced date and downgrade unnecessary preferred ranks; about the general issue of redundancies in Wikidata, you can check WikiProject Redundancy
- Ghanasupremecases is a webapp that dynamically pulls and displays over 2,000 Supreme Court of Ghana cases from Wikidata, allowing users to access case details linked directly to Wikidata items. The goal is to make African legal data more open, structured, and discoverable, and to demonstrate how Wikidata can serve as a foundation for national-level legal archive

Support required in Other language page interlink
[edit]Hi Admin, I need support to link english page of article to its other language pages. As new user I'm not familiar how it is done. Also, I need to learn to do automatic revert, instead of manual intervention/ manual way of revert. Please guide me where I could study/ learn about it. As I'm trying to link 2 articles to its chinese wikipedia page. Yesterday Once More (2016 film) to https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B0%81%E7%9A%84%E9%9D%92%E6%98%A5%E4%B8%8D%E8%BF%B7%E8%8C%AB_(%E7%94%B5%E5%BD%B1) Back In Time (Chinese TV series) to https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8C%86%E5%8C%86%E9%82%A3%E5%B9%B4_(%E7%B6%B2%E8%B7%AF%E5%8A%87)
Getting errors: "The link enwiki:Back In Time (Chinese TV series) is already used by Item Q136025042. You may remove it from Q136025042 if it does not belong there or merge the Items if they are about the exact same topic." SakuraSmart (talk) 06:10, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
- You probably want to merge enwiki:Back In Time (Chinese TV Series) (Back In Time (Q136025042)) with the zhwiki item (Back In Time (Q18165192)). I've done it for you. — regards, Revi 06:16, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. Please do the same for below, as the link is going to ambiguous page. Also, let me know is it possible for new users to merge/ link the same from our end?
- Yesterday Once More (2016 film) to https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B0%81%E7%9A%84%E9%9D%92%E6%98%A5%E4%B8%8D%E8%BF%B7%E8%8C%AB_(%E7%94%B5%E5%BD%B1) - This is correct direct link. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by SakuraSmart (talk • contribs).
- You can do this yourself: Try out the merge.js, by following the procedure at Help:Merge/zh#Merge gadget. — regards, Revi 06:30, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Admin,
- I tried, I am not getting Merge Tab activation button under Gadgets, not sure why. Please Merge Chinese actual direct page with Engish page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_Once_More_(2016_film) as Chinese page is showing English Wikipedia missing.
- Thanks SakuraSmart (talk) 07:27, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
- It seems like someone else have done this for you. — regards, Revi 05:22, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks Admin for your support. You guided me well, however I couldn't figure it out myself. May be while I was trying it myself, error notification might have gone to other admin/users. I will explore/ study more on this topic based on link provided by you. SakuraSmart (talk) 05:31, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
